Can't Get Into Game

[-Immolatu]

<p>Turned on EQ2 today, played for a bit and worked fine. Logged off and a couple hours later I try to log in and after I put in password a square window with Everquest II in it pops up with a loading bar (never done this before) it gets to the end then screen just goes black and I get a client error. Any ideas?</p><p>Thanks</p>

<p>The patcher downloaded a new EverQuest2.exe for me and I haven't been able to play since. Also got a new EQ2VoiceService.exe. I'm not sure what's the problem, but suspect something from the crashlog might point to an issue . . .</p><p><p>Log:</p><p><span style="white-space: pre;"> </span>Problem loading VeShader from file shaders/code/genericguipaperdoll.vdl</p><p><span style="white-space: pre;"> </span>...using a default shader</p><p><span style="white-space: pre;"> </span>(VDL Parser) *buffer*(0) : Error, File not found: shaders/code/genericguigrayscale.vdl</p><p><span style="white-space: pre;"> </span><ALERT> E:liveeq2frameworkvdlsrcVdlErr.cpp(85): (VDL Parser) *buffer*(0) : Error, File not found: shaders/code/genericguigrayscale.vdl</p><p><span style="white-space: pre;"> </span>Problem loading VeShader from file shaders/code/genericguigrayscale.vdl</p><p><span style="white-space: pre;"> </span>...using a default shader</p><p><span style="white-space: pre;"> </span>(VDL Parser) *buffer*(0) : Error, File not found: shaders/code/genericguinoalpha.vdl</p><p><span style="white-space: pre;"> </span><ALERT> E:liveeq2frameworkvdlsrcVdlErr.cpp(85): (VDL Parser) *buffer*(0) : Error, File not found: shaders/code/genericguinoalpha.vdl</p><p><span style="white-space: pre;"> </span>Problem loading VeShader from file shaders/code/genericguinoalpha.vdl</p><p><span style="white-space: pre;"> </span>...using a default shader</p></p><p>-----------------------------------------</p><p>Not sure what change SOE made, just hope I can get my monthly sub prorated for the days I'm missing.</p>

<p>I had this problem on all three of my pc's there is a work around you have to run the patcher till play button is red then go to your main EQ2 folder open the Pak files folder then delete the file Patch.vpk.</p><p>Do not re run patcher after just press play and youll be able to get in.</p><p>worked on all 3 of my pc's</p><p>There doesnt seem to be any official recognition of the problem yet.Hopefully someone from sony could post a link here and prove me wrong.</p>

<p>most of EQ2 team will be at fan fare i would guess . i do not have the  file "patch.vpk" on either comp so no temp fixes for me i get no responce from filling out a "ticket" from their support system.and the only responce i have seen on any thread by sony was to lock the tread so no one else could post</p>

<p>I should have mentioned I am Running XP not sure if it works on Vista .</p><p>K heres a Link from Rothgar about the Problem</p><p><a href="http://forums.station.sony.com/eq2/posts/list.m?topic_id=453696&post_id=5056983#5056983">http://forums.station.sony.com/eq2/...5056983#5056983</a></p><p>When you start the game you will actually want to run it from the Everquest2.exe for the time being.  I believe most of the people who are still crashing after deleting patch.vpk are running it from a different file</p>
